Perfect for Fine 2C/3A Hair

Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I purchased this Defining Gel along side the shampoo and conditioner from the same hair line / hair care system and while I do feel it is effective at activating and defining my curls, what I don't like is how it leaves my hair feeling hard and dried out. I've also tried following it up with oil to add moisture back into my hair and that has zero impact on the dryness. I'm thinking it has to do with whatever chemicals they're using as the hold agent.

Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I used this in combination with the rest of the Alterna My Hair, My Canvas curly products. This was such a great find. I generally find Alterna to offer great products for my hair type and use their other products for straightening. I have had a lot of trouble recently frizz, shape, and fragility in my hair. I figured Alterna might be a good option and took a chance. This was perfect. I got exactly the texture I was looking for with slightly clumpier curls than I have been getting with other curl products, a nice gentle hold, and less frizz than my hair is typically prone to. I hope Alterna will continue this line.
Very poor substitute for bamboo shine

I was so unhappy when Bamboo Shine was discontinued. Alterna touted this as even better. No way. It doesn't define or hold curl or stand up to blow-drying straight. Bring back Bamboo shine!!!
Doesn't sparse my hair

Many gels make my 2c/3a curl pattern look stringy and sparse. So far I haven't had issues with this gel doing that. A little goes a long way and my curls look define without weighing them down. I like focus the gel on the lower half of my hair and it looks great.
None thick and sticky!

A none crunchy gel! I don't enjoy styling days because it always takes so long but with this product it doesn't! It spreads nicely and easily and isn't all thick and gooey like some gels. Leaves my waves soft and manageable for days!
